A Délvidék elszakítása: Újvidék 1918. november 25.

Abstract

Before 1918, Délvidék was a multi-ethnic region where Hungarians, Serbs, Romans and Germans, along with half a dozen additional nations/ethnicities, maintained one of the economically most developed region of the dualist state. Tensions among these nations escalated during the autumn of 1918. The Serbian populace of the region attempted to have Délvidék annexed to the Kingdom of Serbia. To this end, the Serbs held a Great Assembly on November 25, 1918 in Újvidék, where the region joining the Serbian kingdom was declared. Our paper presents the background and the course of this assembly.
